So just how do you sweep the crap out of the trailer ? Blow it out with compressed air ?

Nice try. The wheels are not designed for any cap on either side. Bearings with real good seals are required.

I have found that new NTN Taiwan bearings in the idlers are not much better. The 6004's need washing out and greasing every year to run smooth. The loose slide fit of the left track drive bearing is the biggest design problem of current Cats. Lots of spun bearings and destroyed drive shafts. Mine will need welding and machining in the spring to save the shaft assy.

BTW, the -C- relays are only "flux" sealed. The -S- relays are sonic welded. I changed all of them in my and my boy's Cats. No sticking so far.

I used Thompson's on the plywood in my Toy Carrier back in 2006 when new. I oiled the bottom of the plywood. The floor is still in excellent shape.

It increases the rate like using a shorter torsion bar.

That is not fast at all for a car or even a huge Rambo pickup, BUT, when pulling a barn door through the air, the amount of drag increases exponentially with the amount of speed. Sorta the same a the pestilence spreading factor.

If so, then you are driving awful fast with that trailer in 7th gear, hence your bad fuel economy.

You must have a 3.55 axle.

What RPM are these engines running with the tow/haul mode engaged at the KPH you want to drive ??

Everybody has a boner on, don't they ?

I bought a Timkin driveshaft hanger bearing for my Dakota thinking it was decent. It said "Made in China" on the box.

That Cat will live forever. You will go through 3 Skippy engines though.

Yes it was. I was lucky to do it both directions with XTC500 over the years before it closed.

These are the bridges that I was refering to. The bridge that xtc500 is refering to is a wild ride. I just found it on Google Earth. I think that bridge is the one our companions found by mistake. One made it over. The other turned around. We never make it to Quebec that day.

Xtc500, I was refering to the bridges on the Quebec end of trail. They were a lot shorter and not so high. I never seen the death bridge 1/2 our group went over. They had ties missing from the story. I will chech out your coordinates on Google Earth.

There were bridges not that long on A105Q that I was across a few times. Moguls on them too.

No, I think it's about money. My Garmin 68 with Trakmaps sure as hell does not update real time to show me the dynamic availability of the trails.

More like a special agreement between OFSC and TrakMaps.

I know of Team Green (old light racing green), and Pearl Green, much darker and used on wheels and ski loops 2008 -20?? That RS edition looks like a lime green in the photos. I have never seen one in the flesh.

Sounds like I need to keep my 30 year policy with The Guarantee Company of North America. At least they insure all my toys and so far, Intact hasn't f%&$ed it up yet.

Just don't bitch and complain when it is cccccold.

Don't fret. It's more of a rag than a mag.

They seem to go on a lot about spitting out tracks on the Mythical Kevlar Lake.
